+1. I think the Fiesta ST is really interesting.
We recently had a
Fiesta (regular version) as a rental and thought, "Wow, better than we expected" We liked. It stood out from the usual, little, cheapo rental cars we've experienced.
So yeah, will be interested to see what the ST is like...
That said, everyone's car preferences are different. If OP's gut prefers the MS3, well then.....
If he can wait tho', I'd also wait to see what the
new Mark VII Golf/ GTI is like.........................
